What if I fail?

What if I fail?
What if I can’t do this?
What if I discover I’m not perfect?
What if other people see I’m not perfect?
What if it hurts?
What if they’re better than me?
What if I’m last?
What if I’m not good at it?
What if I make a fool of myself?
What if it doesn’t work?
What if someone laughs at me?
What if…

New Beginnings

“Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don’t count.” – Dr. Anthony Robbins

I’m so thankful that the transitioning of one year into the next provides us the encouragement we sometimes need to begin anew.  There is something immensely powerful about a new beginning.  It gives us the opportunity to drop the weight of whatever we’ve been carrying and see the world with new eyes… hope filled eyes.  We hope for better…  we hope for more.  But hope alone is a held breath.

So here’s to NOT holding your breath in 2010.  Here’s to going after MORE and BETTER with reckless abandon.  Here’s to not leaving another year behind with a list of could have’s & should have’s.  Here’s to getting the results you want instead of making up reasons for why you didn’t.  Here’s to waking up to a life you’re excited about living.

CHEERS!
